MOUNTING YOUR RED DOT SCOPE

1. The base or bases should be manufactured specifically for your pistol, rifle or shotgun and should create a

uniform horizontal and vertical mounting platform. Be sure they are properly installed and securely fastened
according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your safety. There is no set eye relief for this sight, therefore,
you should provide at least three inches of clearance between the eyebell and your eye when in the shooting
position.

2. Set the clamps onto the base or bases so that they align with the crosscut grooves. Work each clampscrew into

the base until the crossbolt seats into the groove. Securely tighten each locking nut with a coin or screwdriver.
For additional holding power, add a drop of thread-locking compound to the center of each locking nut.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your new Tasco Red Dot is powered by one 3V “coin-style” lithium battery, Type 2032. Should your reticle grow
dim or not light at all, you will need to replace the batteries. To install new batteries, unscrew the battery
compartment and insert “+” side up. Replace battery cover.

ZEROING YOUR RED DOT SIGHT

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE DONE AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA. EYE AND EAR
PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.

1. Activate the illuminated reticle by turning the rheostat knob clockwise to brighten and counterclockwise to dim.

The “1” represents the dimmest and the “11” the brightest illuminations.

2. Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps.

3. With the scope mounted, rest the gun on a solid support. Sight along the barrel and aim at a target 50 to 100

yards away. Sight through your Red Dot and use the windage and elevation adjustments to align the lighted
reticle with the target as seen along the barrel. Each click of adjustment moves the point of impact by 1/2” at
100 yards, 1/4” at 50 yards, and 1/8” at 25 yards.

CAUTION! BE SURE GUN IS NOT LOADED.

USE SAFE GUN HANDLING PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.

Congratulations on purchasing your Tasco Red Dot illuminated optical sight. Designed with a unique rheostat
that features 11 positive detents for a full range of light intensities, this is a state-of-the-art scope designed for
hunting, plinking and target shooting with pistols, rifles, shotguns and bows.

Engineered for greater speed and accuracy, this scope allows you to unconsciously concentrate on the reticle,
thus increasing accuracy. Tasco’s Red Dot illuminated reticle has been pre-focused so the aiming point always
appears against the target. By comparison, open sights force you to focus on the rear sight, front sight and
target at the same time. Also standard rifle or pistol scopes bring the target into focus only on the internal reticle.

Its aiming system is engineered to be the brightest of its kind. All in all, this scope is proof positive that Tasco
is positioned squarely on the leading edge of advanced technology.
